I do not have great credit and I am looking online for a personal loan, I have been emailed by tons of scammers asking me for up-front fees of $250 etc. to get the loan from them. I have tried everywhere and I have decided that I cannot obtain an UNSECURED personal loan. I applied on one website that looked legit, and I was called the next day by a company called century financial incorporated. Their website is www.century-financialinc.com. they have offered me a SECURE personal loan at a rate of 8.75 % from a 3rd party lender. Since I do not have the credit rating to get an UNSECURED personal loan (which means I recieve money with no collateral or co-signer). This company has outlined to me 3 different options to SECURE my personal loan. 1. co-signer. must have a cosigner with perfect credit. I said no thanks. 2. monetary collateral....which they have outlined the payments of $235/month which will be taken out of direct deposit, they have asked for a lump sum of my first 4 monthly payments, which turns out to be $940. Option 3. is Insurance coverage I would have to purchase from them $1800, to secure the loan, after 5 consecutive months of on-time payments, the $1800 would be refunded.
I am seriously considering option #2, sending them $940 they said I would send it securly through western union, and within 3-4 hours, the loan would be deposited into my account, or I could have a certified cheque delivered to my house via fedex. I just have worries that after I send them $940, nothing will happen. I have talked to this man adam wilcox on the phone, he sounds like a very nice, understanding, knowledgable financial advisor, I do trust him I expressed my concerns with him and he assures me that this whole process is legitimate. can somebody visit thier website for me, the website states an actual address under contact information which is always a good sign, let me know how the website looks to you, below is the first page of the loan contract they sent me. I am on the fence about this one, but I really need a loan, but I do not want to be scammed. please advise on your opinions, or if anybody has experience dealing with this company? or a loan process like this, does this sound like the general way things need to be done? please give your opinions...
thank you very much

SCAM, to not touch this. You will send the $940 and then there will be a few other issues that come up where they will need a little more money from you. Then after a few days they will have another "fee" you need to pay. If you look carefully they are not giving you the loan "we have obtained a lender to process and approve your loan request" Once they have your $940.00 and the $1,800 this lender will disappear. And you will need to pay a bit more for another lender, all said and done good luck getting your funds back

I would be leery for the reasons noted below.
Strike 1- I checked the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and I didn't find any companies listed with the address buried in the website you mentioned.
Strike 2- I did a generic Yahoo search as well as searching Yahoo Yellow Pages and again didn't find any companies in Boston with that address.
Strike 3- The listed address is that of the hotel "Hilton Boston Financial District".
Strike 4- I did a search on the domain name (www.whois.com) and came up with the following. Note that the domain name was created less than one month ago!

• Employers Face Changes in COBRA Qualifications | My Taxes
Now for the devil in the details. If your business is not covered by COBRA (fewer than 20 employees at any time during a calendar year), you are still subject to complying with these notices to qualified employees. If you are subject to the state-mandated health version of COBRA, your qualified employees can use the federal subsidy. You would need to contact your insuance carrier, since they are now the responsible party for providing the subsidy and taking the payroll tax credit. If you are an employee reading this column you may not be eligible to use this credit if your adjusted gross income for 2009 is between $250,000 and $290,000 filing a married filing jointly status, or if filing single...
